What is included in the starter set?
The set includes three rulebooks (Introduction & Solo Adventure, Starter Rules, and a book of three adventures), five ready-to-play investigator character sheets, blank investigator sheets, a set of polyhedral dice, and a collection of player handouts.
Is this suitable for complete beginners to roleplaying games?
Yes, it is specifically designed as an entry point. The solo adventure in Book 1 teaches the rules step-by-step, and the starter rules are written to be accessible for new players and Keepers.
How many players can play with this set?
The set is designed for a typical gaming group. It supports one Keeper (game master) and several investigators. The included adventures are written for a group of players, and there are five pre-made characters provided.
What dice are included?
A standard set of six polyhedral dice is included, which are required for the game's mechanics.
Do I need to buy anything else to start playing?
No, the starter set contains all the essential components required to begin playing the included adventures. You only need pens, paper, and a group of people.
What is the difference between an investigator and the Keeper?
Investigators are player characters who explore mysteries and face horrors. The Keeper is the player who narrates the story, controls non-player characters and monsters, and adjudicates the rules.
Are the adventures replayable?
While the core story of each included adventure is fixed, the outcomes depend heavily on player choices and dice rolls, creating a unique experience each time. Furthermore, the rules and tools provided allow the Keeper to create entirely new scenarios.
